Mt. Hood saturday 7/7

Looking to climb hood Saturday before the weather starts getting real warm. Never climbed hood before, I have done rainier, adams, and some other snow/glacier climbs though. Planning on going up the standard south side route but it's always better with a partner.

I went up it last Monday morning alone. My first time there, but it was in good and easy condition. Most weren't going up the actual Hogsback, though some were, then traversing left beneath the huge crevasse blocking it up high. Easier to just go down and left then straight up the face, big bucket steps. The Chute at the top was a little icy but no problem, the final summit ridge very easy, not narrow or exposed. Good luck.
